Selling my RB26, was built as a full-on item for a 1200hp motor. All work was done by RAMS head service in Windsor, they were responsible for GTR-700's head initially and learnt alot about RB heads from JUN - and were getting better results than them as well.

Parts list:

Custom 1mm oversize stainless valves (when I got the head done in 2004 off the shelf items were not available, made from Ferrea alloy blanks)

Aftermarket valve guides

Apexi V-Max SPL springs, retainers and buckets

Apexi V-Max SPL 280 degree 11.5mm lift cams (also have Tomei 290/11.5 and HKS 300(?)/11.5 cams as well)

Tomei camshaft stud kit

Trust cam gears

New stem seals

Also have ported injector base/manifold to suit head

Labor list

Ported intake + exhaust runners

Profile guides

Polished + cc'd chambers

Unshroud valves in chamber

Flow benched and runner flow equalised

Steam hole modifications/water gallery modifications

Clearanced for high lift cams

Drilled for 1/2inch head studs

Flow figures:

Lift Int Exh

0.05 51.9 46.4

0.1 100.4 94.5

0.15 147.2 134.8

0.2 186 167.5

0.25 221.3 197.2

0.3 252.4 219.5

0.35 277.5 229.7

0.4 292.9 236.8

0.45 304.7 240.8

0.5 309.2 241.8

Have spent over $10,000 on this item (RAMS alone was $5500 with no parts) , had some big plans for my R33 but have gone a different route now. I also have a Harris Engine ported head here too (same people SydneyKid uses and raves on about) and it is nothing compared to this RAMS head.

Benefits of having such a modded head are quicker turbo spooling (or capacity to spool a larger turbo reasonably), more power(!!!) and to a degree lower intake temps (due to less boost needed to make xyz power figure etc).

$8,000 or near offer, located in Sydney. Item is still unused, have mocked engine up a few times for clearancing/ ricer pictures but that's about it.

Couple of pics of the head, 3rd pic is of the ported intake against a standard head to show how much material was removed on the ports.

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
